BMW iX Advanced Driver Assistance System

[@nitramluap]

Backup assistant isn't a parking assistant, it's a way for the car to reverse a pre-driven route to get out of a tight situation where you can't do a u-turn. It's pretty neat but it's not meant to be used to re-park the car!! Lucky you had the PDC emergency braking on, otherwise it would have hit that sign!!

[@magnuskessler3209]

Yes, absolutely not intended as a parking system but worked surprisingly well anyways

I can’t get over the faux engine noise. So not needed or necessary in an EV.

The speed can be set at the speed that you’re traveling. That’s every cruise control since 1990.

[@coredumperror]

You'd be surprised. With Smart Cruise these days, it's kindof a crapshoot if it'll activate at your current speed, or activate at what the car considers to be the current speed limit. And some systems even let you say "Activate at X over the current speed limit, regardless of my current speed", with a customizable X.

You mixed up parking assistant with back up assistant. Backup assistant has nothing to do with parking assistant. The first is about backing up 50 meters following the path you used to move forward, it can be used for anything and is not part of the parking features, that's why it didn't stop by itself until the emergency break kicked in. Parking assistant, on the other hand, is about helping you park, including the 360 cameras, the sensors, and auto parking in parallel and perpendicular to the parking spot with automatic acceleration and breaking. Two different features for two different purposes. I appreciate your tests, but please try to get some info before you go out and make assumptions, not only about this, but also about materials, features, etc. Many of the features in a German car are options, and there are several of them people can choose from. Personally, I'd appreciate a mention to that fact at least, since the cars you receive have one specific configuration, but that doesn't mean that it is THE configuration you can have. The same issue happened when you reviewed the i4. Just take a quick look at the European configurators and you'll quickly see all the options available, which can make the car look and feel completely different.

[@remcobron5528]

Exactly what I came to say. The parking assistant will back in much nicer even from a 90 degree angle. Time for another video 😀

[@RogerM88]

If it was a Tesla product don't be surprised they would be all over the place praising it. Knowing the ins and outs.

[@MIKOOL13]

Did you watch the video? They literally said that they like to go in blind to give an honest first impressions of what it’s like driving the car and looking at the car. These are borrowed cars they only have for a few days. They can’t go in depth too much. And they don’t care what the other options are if they can’t look at them in person

[@remcobron5528]

@@MIKOOL13 going in blind is no problem. But when you read ‘back up assist’ and explain the feature like it’s parking assist it just look a little, well, let’s say ill informed.

[@eddiehaug]

@@MIKOOL13 Exactly what Remco said. Going blind into something is not the same as going uniformed or wrongly informed about something. You can have good and enough information and still have a proper first experience and give opinions about what you see, but still considering there are other options that could change your first impression. It's not necessary to ignore that fact in order to give an honest opinion about what you are presented with.

[@Skynet_01]

For those not liking the fake noise- It can be turned off, but I couldn't stand it. I hit 73 easily without "feeling" it. Does kinda remind me of the Warp engine noise from Star Trek, It was cringe at first but now I just feel like I'm Picard saying "Make it so".

i4 and iX do not have the Same Adas System. i4 has old System Form 2018, where the tricam is indeed the Full fletched System. Based on Mobileye EQ4 Processor. iX is based on newer Mobileye EQ5 processor. The Adas is only One 8Mp Imager. There is yet another safety Domain ECU (Asil D) based on Intel SOC Denverton.

The one thing that VW and other automakers got right was putting cameras on the front grill. It makes pulling forward into tight spots so much better feeling. Imagine the current Tesla backup setup but also with a small picture showing the front. I would imagine front cameras are also really useful for self-driving in terms of avoiding small objects in front or ahead of the vehicle. 15:40 Seems like everyone struggles with autopark LOL.

Its more complicated, and also model dependent. I saw comparison where 3 brands all did perfect self park and 2/3 teslas either did terribly (only 2017 version with old hardware did comparably) or 3/3 couldn't even see the spot as valid in a garage where the other brands all parked no problem.

I know it's a running joke about BMW/Audi drivers, and I don't know if you are German, but in my experience it's mostly non-German BMW/Audi drivers that are the bad apples. Although I am not from Germany, I drive regularly on the Autobahn and the Germans are generally very behaved and excellent drivers. When there is a speed limit drivers slow down immediately and there is a good understanding between people who want to drive fast and those who want to drive regular speeds. It's the non-Germans on the Autobahn that behave like **** (because they are of the leash for once perhaps?). 😄

BMW wishes it was better than Tesla, but wishes mean little to an engineer. There is presently nothing in the consumer market that even approaches the perfection of a Tesla. And none of them will ever catch up to Tesla, the best they can do is to copy Tesla five years after the fact. Tesla is innovating faster than any other OEM, now or in history, that means that people who are waiting for a Tesla Killer are delusional, it will never happen. There have been over fifty EVs hailed by the automotive press as "Tesla Killer", it is now just a joke, as is the automotive press opinions and vastly crooked reviews. Just look at Munro's engineering reviews of Tesla compared to any of the others, nothing comes close.

[@ariip]

Again, you have volume controls on the steering wheel. Why do you need it on the console along with the gear selector and other stupid knobs. Now you have no usable console and cupholders that are impossible to use. Put the shifter on the stalk, and additional volume controls and other controls also on the screen for the passenger like in the teslas, and give people back their console. So this big car has less storage in the console than a model 3, and less storage overall without a frunk. Some SUV....... Less storage and space than a sedan. LOL.

That fake motor noise is dumb. I would rather hear the whine of a gear train then some fake sound played over speakers. Hopefully that's an option that can be turned off.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. “Too much bling is not a good thing.”

[@richardnedbalek1968]

@@djprojectus No, I don’t get it. Did you instead mean “it’s” an option, which is a contraction of “it is” and has an apostrophe, or did you actually mean to use your “its,” which implies possession, although I’m not sure what “it” possesses here? So, no, I still don’t get it. Please clarify.

[@Frosticus453]

People used to hang CD's from their mirror to refract light all over the place as they drive. Maybe the designer thought that was cool.

Thanks for reviewing the iX. I have one on order, a 2023 model that should be here in early October. Can't wait to get it. I need to sell my E90 M3 before it arrives so I can park it in the garage.

Too many inconsistencies with the design inside and out so if you gave me one for free I'd get rid of it, it's too phoney for my taste.

There is so much miss information in this video its depressing. The reverse assistant is not for parking its for reversing out of tricky situation such as a narrow lane. Its in the name park assist for parking, reverse assistant for back up assistant . Then there is the distant control... its distant control in the menu the toggle on the steering wheel is simply to switch the mode between adaptive cruise only or full assistance and to adjust your set speed nothing more. Also while testing the ADAS systems why not bring up the ADAS display on the cluster for better information on what the car is doing ? This system is rather solid overall and if you do a search for some other videos such as kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn-QYYisna-jgtU to see what the system can do. Yes I get it this is not a review but at least learn what the system does before demoing it. This type of content and its bad information is misleading, you can see it in the comments people now think the park assistance just drives off into parking signs.. there is more time spent on subjective dribble about a crystal and styling than there is on what the ADAS systems in the car can and cant do.

Wow! that was awesome. So much better than Tesla ADAS /s.

[@ariip]

You are kidding right? How old of a tesla are you comparing. You might want to update your facts because you look foolish. We drive with our eyes. We need to read signs, interpret what things are, road markings, and gestures and motions from other drivers. The only thing that is going to do all of that is AI and vision. Actual artificial intelligence. That is what tesla is doing where nobody else is. Radar and lidar can not read signs, road markings, or interpret gestures and facial expressions from others and lidar is affected by rain and snow worse than our vision. They also can provide conflicting information. Radar and lidar can not tell the difference between a boulder and a blanket, nor a person and a piece of cardboard shaped like one. Just like you can, a car with vision and AI can be trained to. The only way to truly solve driving is how we drive. Vision and intelligence with more eyes, with diligence and without distraction, becoming tire or making bad decisions and human error.

[@vfedosov]

​@@ariip Do people really drive very good? Amount of accidents is huge - currently car accidents are main reason of death. Our vision still can be mistaken - we can wrongly estimate a distance for example. Radar is much more stable - it gives you 3D data. Camera gives 2D. Camera depends on the light - it is impossible to test it with all the possible lights directions and configurations. That's why Teslas sometimes are trying to go through walls:). Modern AI computer vision is even less stable than our vision. Therefore Tesla still has a lot of trouble with the accidents and I think the camera-based full self-driving will be possible for Tesla after the AGI creation only. Radars give some additional information which can augment the cameras data. But the really stable autonomous driving is only possible with LIDAR for now.

Typical BMW's over complicated and difficult to use everything, I prefer the BMW of olden days when they truly were ultimate driving machine. Now they are just complicated big grill machine.

[@kb8570]

Nice car but it all seems over complicated which means lots of costs to manufacture. Nokia was making complicated hardware/phones to compete with the original iPhone. BMW might end up like Nokia.

[@SoerenM]

Can't agree with this at all... maybe Teslas FSD works kinda well/better in the US currently but after test driving M3 and BMW over here in Europe I went with BMW and not regretting it at all. (even on "Joe Mode" the constant bell sounds drove me crazy in the M3) The HUD is also super lovely and voice commands work super well... it's a personal choice but while driving and paying attention to the road I prefer physical buttons or even the "joystick" control over touch... looking at a screen in the middle console is just super distracting - basically like glancing over your shoulder almost, nothing I want to do at high speeds and/or crazy traffic...
